THE OFFER 
OF THE COLLEGE 


@ ® 


“To be at home in all lands and all ages; to count 
Nature a familar acquaintance, and Art an intimate 
friend; to gain a standard for the appreciation of 


Nature-atamiliar-acquaintanceand-Art-anintimate 


other men’s work and the criticism of your own; to 


carry the keys of the world’s library in your pocket, 
and feel its resources behind you in whatever task 
you undertake; to make hosts of friends among the 
men of your own age who are to’be leaders in all 
walks of life: to lose yourself in generous enthus- 
ilasm and co-operate with others for common ends; 
to learn manners from students who are gentlemen, 
and form character under professors who are Christ- 
ians—this is the offer of the college for the best four 


four years of your life.” 
—WILLIAM DeWITT HYDE.

ATHLETICS. 


The physical welfare of the students of Tabor 
College is well guarded. The young women are 
given regular gymnasium work by a woman spec- 
ially trained for the work. The young men are un- 
der the direction of a competent athletic coach and 
physical director. Football, basketball and track 
are each stressed in their seasons. Letters are 
awarded the men who fulfill requirements. Both 
men and women are required to take a physical ex- 
amination by a competent physician before engaging 
in physical exercise. 


SOCIAL LIFE. 


When a person is graduated from a college, he is 
but half-educated unless he knows the common con- 
ventions of social contact and is easily able to adapt 
himself to people and to circumstances.  Class- 
parties, all-school parties, picnics, and special func- 
tions of special organizations give ample opportunity 
for the development of social ease. The woods near 
Tabor and the ever interesting Waubaunsie Hills 
make attractive picnic grounds in the fall and 
spring, The social life at Tabor is directed but not 
unduly restrained and its spirit is democratic and 
wholesome. 


RELIGIOUS LIFE. 


The religious life of the college finds expression 
in the active organizations of the Y. W. C. A., and 
the Y. M. C. A., and in the various church organi- 
zations of the town. The Y, M. C. A. and the Y. W. 
C. A., are student organizations and all students 
may have a chance to work in them. Both do much 
to maintain a spirit of democracy and mutual help- 
fulness among the students. 

The Congregational, the Methodist, the Christian, 
the Latter Day Saints and the Faith Home churches 
all open their doors to college students. At the first 
of the year the new students are expected to find 
their church homes in the denominations of their 
choice. The pastors of the different churches con- 
tribute much to the religious life of the college. 


COURSES OF STUDY. 


Tabor College offers the regular standard college 
courses leading to the dezree of Bachelor of Arts. 
Fifteen hours per week is the minimum and eighteen 
hours the maximum amount required for regular 
work in the college department. The catalog will 
show the requirements for a major and a minor. 

The foundation for any specialization in any lit- 
erary, mechanical, scientific or professional work 
may be secured here under a competent and well- 
trained faculty at a minimum cost. 

The ranking of Tabor’s graduates in the Gradu- 
ate Schools of the Universities, ard the positions 
held by former students and Alumni, give ample 
evidence of the standard of scholarship which Tabor 
maintains. 

Attention is called to the catalog for those who 
desire special work in Education, Home Economics, 
Journalism, and Mechanical Drawing. 


BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. 


A course in Business Administration will be of- 
fered for high school graduates. This course is de- 
signed to give the student who plans to enter bus- 
iness-life, a chance to acquaint himself with the 
methods of business procedure while he is securing 
his college course, 


DEBATE. 


Public Speaking and Debate have a prominent 
place in the college activities. Tabor has made a 
good record in intercollegiate debate, and all stu- 
dents who are interested may pursue this work un- 
der expert training. 


CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC. 


Tabor College has for many years maintained a 
high reputation for the excellence of the work in the 
Conservatory of Music. People from miles away 
come every year to the annual concerts of the Ora- 
torio Society during the year and at Commencement 
time. Glee Clubs for both men and women, private 
lessons in piano, voice, violin, cello, pipe-organ and 
other instruments are some of the opportunities of- 
fered. The Oratorio Society is well known for its 
anrtual concerts in December, May and June.

EXPENSES 


The traditional policy of Tabor has been to offer 
highest standard of instruction at the lowest possi- 
ble cost. A study of the catalog and comparison with 
other colleges will show that this tradition is being 
maintained. Tuition is $100.00 per year. Board and 
room are from $6.50 to $7.00 per week. Consult 
the catalog for other details. 


For those students who must earn their own ed- 
ucation there are many opportunities for self-help. 
The following from some cf last year’s students 
will show how they were able to meet the expenses 
of the college year: 


“Dad paid everything.” 


Several girls: “Earned all (or part) of my board 
and room by working at Woods Hall. 


“Karned tuition and board by doing college jani- 
tor work.” 


“Earned my tuition. The folks paid the rest.” 
“Mowed lawns.” 

“Took care of a church.” 

Several: “Worked in the homes of Tabor.” 
“Worked in the Crafts Department.” 

An upper-classman: “Read themes for my tuition.” 


“Assisted in the library.”
